The Brusletto Hunter Fixed Blade Knife is a legendary Norwegian hunting knife that has earned its reputation as a trusted companion for outdoorsmen since its introduction in 1963. With more than 1.4 million units sold, the Hunter has become one of Norway’s best-selling hunting knives and a true classic known for its timeless design, dependable performance, and traditional craftsmanship.
Handcrafted in Norway, the Brusletto Hunter represents decades of knife-making expertise and practical outdoor experience. The knife features a narrow, tapered 5.25-inch blade that has remained true to its original design while receiving modern improvements for enhanced cutting performance. The Scandinavian straight-ground edge provides excellent control, precision, and efficiency, making this knife a versatile tool for hunting, camping, fishing, food preparation, and everyday outdoor tasks.
The blade is crafted from Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, a premium choice for outdoor knives thanks to its excellent balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, edge performance, and ease of maintenance. Whether you’re field dressing game, preparing meals at camp, making kindling, or cleaning fish, the Hunter’s reliable blade is built to handle a wide range of challenges in the outdoors. With proper care and regular maintenance, this knife is designed to provide years of dependable service.
The handle is made from stained and oiled curly birch, giving the knife a distinctive natural appearance while providing a secure and comfortable grip. The beautiful wood grain highlights the traditional Scandinavian styling, while the oiled finish helps protect the handle and preserve its character. A cast aluminum bolster with an integrated finger guard adds durability and improves safety by helping prevent your hand from sliding forward during use.
Completing the classic design is a durable black cowhide leather sheath reinforced with a metal band that wraps around the entire sheath. This added reinforcement provides extra strength and durability, ensuring the knife remains protected while offering secure belt carry during outdoor adventures.
Measuring 10 inches overall, the Brusletto Hunter delivers the perfect balance of size, control, and versatility. It’s a dependable fixed blade that honors traditional Norwegian knife-making while meeting the needs of modern hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. To maintain the knife’s quality and longevity, it’s recommended to wipe the blade dry after use before returning it to the sheath.
